Our KB was updated today with adds/info on the LG CU320 and the Samsung ZX10.
I couldn't find specific release dates, but with this info being updated, hopefully it will be soon.
they're pretty sweet. while you're on a call, you can access the menu and slect "switch" to activate data WHILE you're on the voice call. this is gonna be cool. kinda leaves ev-do looking pretty lame.

When I talked to Cingular Premier this week, they said they should be available on Monday. They wouldn't promise, as they've ran into supply issues (they did with the pink RAZR too). So hopefully Monday will be the day!

Don't know ... availability seems to be about the same on the Premier site as the normal site. However, they didn't have the Pink RAZR last time I looked ... supply issues they said, but they seem to have the same things the regular site has.
Actually, they have a much wider selection, as you can get some older phones or ones that are current but just not offered on the website.

thanks - I had heard initially that the 3g phones were to be available in Jan but got pushed back after a previous pushback from q4...not sure the reason but I had also heard something about Cing needing to switch out some bad network gear form one of the vendors
are you quite confident of the 3g phones this week?

that would primarily depend on the availability of UMTS service in your area... if that network isnt ready to go in your area cingular would be stabbing themselves in the foot by selling the phones beforehand

I'm in the Baltimore area as well, so the coverage IS there. No dice on phones, and the person I talked to today said they didn't have them in stock yet.
Actually suggested calling a store, as they have release dates that they don't.
